Eating out raw in traditional restaurants can be a challenge. The iced tea is likely brewed and the salad may contain croutons or toasted pine nuts. Raw food diners generally have to scrutinize the menu and quiz servers. But in many of the nation’s major cities, raw food restaurants cater creatively to followers of the diet--all you have to do is ask!

Eating out raw is not that difficult. You can bring some of your own staples along with you and and combine with these ideas:

Mexican: Pica di gao (chopped tomato and cilantro with lime juice - not spelled correctly) and guac and any other veggies that usually come on the side with fajitas
Japanese: Seaweed salad and veggie rolls without the rice
Thai: Spring rolls (not eating the wrapper of course) with dipping sauce, papaya salad, mango salad (YUM)
American: Iceberg salad with olive oil and lemon juice/balsamic vinegar

*These suggestions don't require any special requests from the restaurant, but if you don't mind doing that, you can always ask for veggie sides raw at any restaurant.

When you go to a "mainstream", i.e., non-raw, restaurant, most often you can get a salad.
Okay, it might not be organic... if that is going to be a major issue, don't go.

Chain restaurants often cannot help you much in the way of salad -- everything they get is
pre-prepared and comes to the kitchen in bags or portions.

Here is an idea I got from Raw Foods News Magazine:
If you are so inclined and very organized, make a list of vegetables
which would be agreeable for you in a salad.
Be kind of specific, but also kind of open - like: greens, such as spinach, lettuce, etc. ( You won't know who you are dealing with in the kitchen -- are they thnking people? Creative? Decide how much you want to spell out!); red bell peppers, onions (specify if you like); celery; mushrooms; etc. and so forth -- this is your list of possible inclusions).
You can print off this list and carry it with you and ask the waiter to take it to the chef.
You can ask for lemon juice and/or extra virgin olive oil on the side.

I've been lucky -- I've been able to get plain salads without having to importune the chef -
still, I think the list idea is kind of nifty-- I just don't think I could go around passing it out, myself.

You can find the article and and a very detailed list at
